Manage Your Own Medieval Alchemy Shop!
Leave behind swords, dungeons, and the rush to save the world. Backpack Alchemist offers you a peaceful yet mentally stimulating medieval shop experience. Step behind your old wooden counter, light your candles, and unzip your custom leather backpack. In your world, everything starts with fitting the right item into the right place.
It's All a "Grid-Based" Puzzle
How complicated can an old leather bag be? To a common merchant, it's just an item, but to a master like you, it's a puzzle waiting to be solved. You must efficiently pack massive scrolls, oddly shaped horns, and fragile potion bottles into a limited grid system. You cannot expand your shop without mastering spatial management.
Your Customers Are Waiting
The door to your shop never closes. Weary travelers, knights, and mysterious strangers arriving in town will demand the exact concoctions they need. Review their orders, find the right ingredients amidst the chaos of your bag, keep them happy, and fill your safe with gold.
Combine, Craft, Prosper
The ingredients on your table are just the beginning. Combine the right elements to craft much more valuable, rare, and bulky objects. Use the empty spaces in your bag wisely to evolve from an ordinary apprentice into a legendary alchemy master.
Key Features:
Relaxing yet Deep Mechanics: No combat, no time pressure. Just you, your items, and the perfect grid system where you must use your wits.
Satisfying Management: Grow your shop, find rarer items, and push the limits of your backpack.
Hand-Drawn Medieval Atmosphere: Retreat to your own quiet shop behind an authentic wooden counter, enjoy the moody view from your window, and immerse yourself in original hand-drawn items with a peaceful soundscape.
